Bioinformatics brings together all the data-processing programs applied to biology.
The biologist, who makes use of these many tools, limits himself mainly to the programs
he knows, even if they are not the best choice in respect of the analysis that he needs
to carry out.
Having noted this, we wish to help this user by integrating a part of the expertise
that was up until now required of him. The current description of the services is
insucient and we shall therefore work on the basis of an ontology that will enhance
it.
Bigre is a project the aim of which is to introduce a distributed system within the
framework of bioinformatics ; it has been jointly developed by the University of Namur
and the University of Brussels. This thesis comes within the scope of this project. We
try to highlight the research aspect of services on the basis of the ontology proposed
in Bigre. We then propose to improve this ontology with semantically richer relations,
the part-whole relations.
